Ada Tur

I'm a third year Computer Science and Linguistics student at McGill University in Montreal, QC, and an undergraduate researcher at McGill University/MILA in Professor Siva Reddy's NLP lab. I'm also a 2024 AAAI UC Scholar!

Previously, I was a research intern at MILA under Professor Mirco Ravanelli, where I worked on the SpeechBrain project implementing neural rescoring for ASR systems. Prior to that, I worked under Professor David Traum in the USC Institute for Creative Technologies researching human-computer interaction, as well as conducting research at CyVision on computer vision for driving assistance systems.

Research

I'm interested in NLP, Music+AI, and Explainable and Creative AI! I primarily have experience with NLP and Computer Vision.

Exploring the defining qualities of natural language that are considered influential and charismatic in the context of political speech using LLMs.

A proposal for a set of Music+AI methods that serves to assist with the writing of and melodies, modelling and transferring of timbres, applying a wide variety of audio effects, including research into experimental audio effects, and production of audio samples using style transfers

A comparison between relevance-based classification and generative transformers for natural language understanding in a human-robot interaction domain.

3D Augmented Reality (AR) Heads‐up Displays (HUDs) have the potential of overlaying virtual objects at the correct locations with accurate motion parallax. Accurate overlays require tracking the pupils of the driver's eyes. We developed an ML‐based pupil tracking system based on a convolutional neural network (CNN) to find the precise location of the pupils.
